From black technology to super engineering

In theory, quantum computers can perform parallel tasks exponentially more efficiently than conventional computers. Well... that's actually true.

The quantum computer "Aita" located in the data room of the Brain-Computer Center currently has less than 5 million quantum computing units, and the entangled light quanta of each computing unit has increased from 8 pairs at the beginning to more than 30 pairs at present—comparison The more than fifty pairs from the laboratory are a bit worse.

But just like this, Aita can still easily complete all the tasks assigned to her by relying on these optical quantum computing units.

Frankly speaking, this actually confuses quantum computing scientists, because Aita’s principle of allocating computing tasks is the result of her own thinking. It is purely a brand-new “quantum AI thinking” that cannot be touched by humans. .

In order to understand the logic behind Aita's efficient thinking mode, the computer and AI community has established a new quantum thinking discipline to study her.

However, even though Aita+quantum supercomputing has unparalleled computing power, which is sufficient to handle all current tasks, as her business scope increases, especially after the realization of long-distance communication, the Ita system based on centralized computing will also More and more popular...

In addition, there are countries in Africa and even Asia that plan to learn from Ethiopia and fully access Aita to enter the security field...

In this way, the disadvantages of centralization are revealed.

That is, the data bandwidth is not enough.

For example, it seems that Aita is an omnipotent secretary who can process documents at the speed of light.

So what restricts her work efficiency is the speed of sending documents.

It's the data transfer speed.

Hearing that Lao Pan said that he even managed a small quantum computing system to assist Aita... That is equivalent to assigning Aita, a super secretary, a full-time secretary who delivers documents...

Well, this is really old Pan.

It is worthy of being the first person to smash quantum computers in China.

Not long after staying in the office, the three of them went to the deep underground well that was within easy reach.

Since the relocation is imminent, He Mo has already made arrangements below.

Seeing the three bosses coming down together, she quickly stopped what she was doing and led everyone to the main engine room.

This is the first time for Professor Tang to go down here. He looked at the vast underground space with emotion: "How many square meters is this? Did you hit any rocks?"

"Well... If you count all the extension rooms and passages, it will be more than 30,000 square meters."

"Fifty acres?"

"Almost—so it must have missed rock formations."

"Then how do you deal with the heat dissipation?" Professor Tang felt the temperature: "Is it 12 or 3 degrees here? It seems to be at a constant temperature."

"Well, here is 100 meters underground, and the constant temperature layer is kept at about 12 degrees." Ye Ming took over the conversation. He knew that what Old Tang wanted to ask should be where the heat should be discharged. He paused and explained: "Now There are three options in total, whether it is natural circulation, liquid nitrogen, or air-conditioning refrigeration, the waste heat generated is directly discharged into the soil... Well, the municipal side is also considering whether the heat can be used , to install heating for residents in the future.”

"The heating is good..." Professor Tang laughed, but shook his head immediately: "Oh, no, the helium-3 reactor in the provincial capital will be built soon, and by then, 18 cents of the residents will use electricity, who would be reluctant to open it?" Air conditioner."

Everyone laughed together.

The few present are all southerners, and they are well aware of the winter in the south of the Yangtze River... how should I put it.

You say it's cold, but of course it's not as cold as in the north—especially those places north of the Yellow River that can drop to minus degrees at every turn.

But here lies the problem. In places where people can’t get below zero at any time, there are earth kangs in the countryside, and heating in the cities.

With the heater on, it's really warm at home.

But the South...

Let's put it this way, of course you can turn on the air conditioner, but in many cases, you can get by without turning it on. If it is turned on, the electricity bill is extremely high.

Anyway, many people have survived winter after winter in entanglement.

"I think, even if the residents use electricity for 18 cents, or even 10 cents, some of them are used to saving, and they won't turn it on if they don't." Academician Pan said with a smile: "Anyway, I support the installation of heating. "

Academician Pan said with emotion: "Installing heating, on the one hand, waste heat can be used, and on the other hand, it is also for environmental protection. Now that the energy problem has been solved, the next big explosion will definitely be food, and the population expansion will be visible to the naked eye. Especially Africa. Ye Ming, don’t you think so?”

Ye Ming nodded with a smile.

He doesn't know whether the domestic population will explode again, and he dare not say for sure, but in the years of technology rush, the domestic GDP and various welfare benefits have obviously been rushing all the way - the country has completely got rid of the previous dependence on the real estate economy.

In this case, the happiness index of ordinary people has been visibly increased by the naked eye.

The happiness index has increased, coupled with the expectations of the stars and the sea, it will obviously increase the birth rate.

But these are definitely not as good as Africa.

Even when it was so poor in the past, Africa was the main force of the world's population growth!

Now, with the full rollout of the country’s strategy in Africa—one of the investment outlets in Africa is industrial farms—as long as the food problem in Africa is solved, it is foreseeable that there will definitely be a wave of large population growth in the future.

"So, unless we can find a habitable planet that is easy to reach in the future, and technically can satisfy the migration of hundreds of millions or even billions of people. Otherwise, the earth is really our only home...you say yes no?"

Everyone nodded in unison.

"So, maintaining the earth's natural environment is really not just talk, but a fact that we really need to consider." Academician Pan paused after speaking: "Didn't someone propose a plan to build an underground city in the future? I also think that, The underground city is quite reliable. The red line of global arable land is reserved on the ground, and the underground is used for living, and it is warm in winter and cool in summer, which saves energy..."

"Well, I also think it's reliable." Ye Ming smiled and nodded again.

There is no doubt that Lao Pan is indeed NB.

These ideas, or assumptions, are actually not just as simple as "someone proposed", but the direction that the country is considering-Ye Ming participated in the discussion.

But Lao Pan didn't, he just gave his own judgment based on the accomplishment and sense of smell of a scientist.

Professor Tang also agreed, but he felt emotional again: "The underground city...the project does not know how big it is, and it also involves considerations such as waterproofing and stratum fracture."

"As long as energy is no longer a shackle, machinery...is nothing more than an incremental process." Ye Ming was much more optimistic and said with a smile.

"Well, quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes." Academician Pan nodded again, then looked forward: "Go, go and see how the base is."
